Minnesota’s moose are dying; global warming may be to blame

Moose are as much a symbol of Minnesota as wolves, lakes and loons. But wildlife biologists say the state’s moose population is in trouble. Moose numbers have plummeted in northwestern Minnesota to near extinction. The animals are also dying prematurely in the northeast.

Researchers aren’t sure what’s killing the state’s moose herd, but they suspect the decline has something to do with global warming.

snip….”I do think global warming is having an impact on our moose,” said Schrage. “I think it gets complicated between climate change and a dead moose. Because I don’t think I’m ever going to walk up to a moose carcass and be able to say, oh, it died of climate change. I think there’s a lot that happens in between.”

So without any evidence whatsoever, these biologists are blaming Globull Warming.
